That is a thought. One of my first ideas was to mount an MAQ 16/3 in an SKB
pop-up, then fill the other 8 spaces with other controllers. I use the MAQ
as my main controller for the modular, so one use I could envision for the
Kitchen Sync is having a handful of sequences running while I control
other parameters in realtime. I'm also eyeing the sequencer section of the
FR 777 with interest as well...

I was envisioning a full length ribbon, kind of where the keyboard would be
on a normal controller, maybe with evenly-spaced trigger buttons along the
top of the ribbon. Then, on the left side of surface, a few joysticks. I
should really start sketching some of this out. About the only kind of
controller I DON'T want in this box is a keyboard!

Yeah, the LMB box looks pretty ideal.
